Well here are my first impressions. First off a little background. I had a GS Storm RTR prior to getting the Avenger. I ran the same motor in both cars with the same pipe. Right off the bat when i put the car on the ground and ran the warm ups for the first qualifier I noticed that the car seemed to accelerate quicker then my Storm. At first I thought it was just my imagination but as I started to open her up on the straights I definatly could see a difference! It just seems to put down the power better. Next was the handling. It was very smooth. In the main turn 1 is usually very rutted and if you come in hot and try to drift through the turn you will usually flip the car or it well unsettle the suspension and you will get out of shape. The avenger seemed to handle the turn with no ill effects and held its line very well! Next is jumping (eveyones favorite). This thing just sails! Even if you take the jump slightly off it still will jump very level and is easy to control.

My overall feeling is that I am very happy with the car and can't wait to get more reps in with the car to get even faster lap times. I was the first one at my track to run the Avenger and everyone was complimenting the car on how well put together and beefy everything looks.
